Fuel pressure testing port, like what is on a lot of cars and trucks.  It's a nice addition.

Doe's that take a special type gauge or will a tire pressure gauge be sufficient?

It allows use of standard auto testing equipment (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=fuel+pressure+tester+kit&crid=5V4NY7KCAJQC&sprefix=Fuel+pressure+test%2Caps%2C117&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_18).

No easy way to retrofit, but it would be a novel idea for the aftermarket to make a replacement fuel line and add that fitting.
